Frequently Asked Questions

Far more than tutoring. Educational therapy addresses how a young person learns, not just what they need to memorize. Using a relational approach, I help students build the underlying skills, confidence and strategies that make learning work for them, from 3rd grade all the way through college.

3RD GRADE THROUGH COLLEGE

For many years, I have helped children, teens and families strengthen executive functioning: planning, organizing, prioritizing, focus, follow-through, and managing time and tasks. These are the skills students most need to succeed, and they can be taught and practiced.

A A KEY AREA OF SPECIALTY

"Twice exceptional," or "2E," means a child is gifted but also has a learning difference such as dyslexia, ADHD, or a non-verbal learning disability (NVLD). These students can be remarkably strong in some areas and need extra support in others, because they learn differently. I provide specialized support for the many presentations of 2E and gifted learners.

GIFTED & TWICE-EXCEPTIONAL LEARNERS

Admission into colleges and universities continues to become more competitive, placing profound pressure on today's students and their families. I have significant experience guiding students through the emotional upheaval of the process, including test anxiety, and I offer test preparation tailored for students receiving accommodations.

ISEE · SAT · ACT · SUBJECT TESTS

I collaborate with educators, administrators and families to develop holistic, relationship-based learning plans that truly prioritize the student. The goal is always to keep the individual young person at the center of their own education.

COLLABORATION WITH SCHOOLS & FAMILIES

Children often express emotional struggles through behavior rather than words. Therapy helps children develop healthy emotional awareness, coping skills, confidence, and stronger relationships at home and at school.

The teenage years bring rapid emotional, social, and developmental changes. Therapy provides adolescents with a supportive space to navigate anxiety, depression, identity, peer relationships, academic stress, and increasing independence.

Children thrive when the family system grows alongside them. Family therapy focuses on improving communication, strengthening relationships, navigating conflict, and creating healthier patterns that support every member of the family.
